Overview

About 8 High Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 High Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lenham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2QD). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since April 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2001–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 100% above the 2006 sale of £165,000. At 72 m² it's 27.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 24 EPCs).
